According to Charles Krauthammer, the NATO alliance in their communique following this week’s meeting, could not even bring themselves to condemn Russian aggression. Russian also will not even be thrown out of the G8, because the Brits were against it. So here we have a nation in Georgia , that is almost voted to be a NATO member, which NATO not only won’t lift a finger to defended militarily, NATO won’t even defend them VERBALLY! A fine alliance they turned out to be.

This communique I’m afraid seems also to expose where the US is coming down on this matter. Wouldn’t you think Bush and Condi would have tried a little harder to get something a wee bit stronger than this if we were really supplying Georgia with something more than Humanitarian aid.
